Regular -applications must not use them. - - Since writing or even reading registers can jeopardize the -system security, its stability and damage the hardware, both ioctls -require superuser privileges. Additionally the Linux kernel must be -compiled with the CONFIG_VIDEO_ADV_DEBUG option -to enable these ioctls. - - To write a register applications must initialize all fields -of a &v4l2-dbg-register; except for size and call -VIDIOC_DBG_S_REGISTER with a pointer to this -structure. The match.type and -match.addr or match.name -fields select a chip on the TV -card, the reg field specifies a register -number and the val field the value to be -written into the register. - - To read a register applications must initialize the -match.type, -match.addr or match.name and -reg fields, and call -VIDIOC_DBG_G_REGISTER with a pointer to this -structure. On success the driver stores the register value in the -val field and the size (in bytes) of the -value in size. - - When match.type is -V4L2_CHIP_MATCH_BRIDGE, -match.addr selects the nth non-sub-device chip -on the TV card. The number zero always selects the host chip, ⪚ the -chip connected to the PCI or USB bus. You can find out which chips are -present with the &VIDIOC-DBG-G-CHIP-INFO; ioctl. - - When match.type is -V4L2_CHIP_MATCH_SUBDEV, -match.addr selects the nth sub-device. - - These ioctls are optional, not all drivers may support them. -However when a driver supports these ioctls it must also support -&VIDIOC-DBG-G-CHIP-INFO;. Conversely it may support -VIDIOC_DBG_G_CHIP_INFO but not these ioctls. - - VIDIOC_DBG_G_REGISTER and -VIDIOC_DBG_S_REGISTER were introduced in Linux -2.6.21, but their API was changed to the one described here in kernel 2.6.29. - - We recommended the v4l2-dbg -utility over calling these ioctls directly.
